Concept Introduction:

In United States two types of measurement system are used, namely the English system and the metric system.  Measurement made using one system is just as precise as the other system.  But scientist prefers metric system over English system because the interrelationships between the metric units can easily be achieved by changing or moving the decimal points.  But still the English unit system measurements are almost same as the metric system.  For example, yard in English system is same the metric unit meter.
